Frosty Fiasco
"When the Christmas carol turns into a crime scene, it's up to the unlikeliest heroes to save the day."
Some ghosts are real. This Christmas, they have a heist.
Welcome to Blackwood Village, where the snow falls like a heavy, frozen blanket and life is, frankly, dreadfully dull. But for thirteen-year-old Aiden-the only person in town with a pulse-boring isn't an option. Dragging his anxious, perpetually bundled-up best friend, Iain, along for the ride, Aiden decides to investigate the local legend: that on the night of the solstice, the ghosts of the old kirk on the hill put on a feast.
They expect to find a few grumpy spirits and a lot of dust. Instead, they stumble onto a very human, and very festive, crime.
The village museum's priceless silver collection has been stolen, and the crooks are using the abandoned church as a temporary drop-off. Armed only with Aiden's boundless curiosity, Iain's encyclopedic knowledge of safety precautions, and a flashlight, the boys witness the heist of the century.
Before they can dial the police, they realize the mastermind behind the theft isn't just any common thief-it's a pillar of the community, and they're watching. With the stolen silver in hand and the clock ticking toward the final delivery, Aiden and Iain are trapped in a deadly game of cat and mouse through the snow-covered village.
From the echoing nave of the haunted kirk to the top of the ancient clocktower, these two middle-school detectives must outwit a desperate criminal crew before the town's history is sold off forever. It's a Christmas caper filled with narrow escapes, chilling secrets, and the kind of trouble only Aiden can find.
Will Aiden and Iain save the silver, or will this Christmas go down in history as the ultimate frosty fiasco?
